New Year Excitement

I have spent the last week contemplating resolutions plans for the new year. Yes, I have made resolutions before, only to fall back into the same pattern within a few months or sometimes even weeks. The tree and Christmas decorations are put away, but life can't go back to what normal was a month ago. This year is brand new and exciting. This excitement cannot diminish in a few weeks or months. Not this year. And because of this, there will be no resolutions.

One year, I did the One Little Word creative thing, but in typical me fashion, I stopped by the sixth month. Now my failure to continue that creative process coincided with the birth of a tiny human being, but regardless, I want to do things on my terms and not a predetermined schedule.

This year I am dreaming big. And why not? I have only just begun writing them down, but they will be written down and visible. And yes, some of those plans include the traditional New Year's resolutions because I am not going to lie. I'm need to lose the baby weight from the baby that is going to have her third birthday in June.

...to be continued due to a tiny person requesting cuddles on the rocker. Now if only I could get her to turn off Barney Christmas.
